Look to my account-I released a new video

We’re meeting in the city of Hamburg every month-meanwhile inside a society in Hamburg with a big amount of Muslims -to remember the people,the Germans, that Israel is standing !

Many of so called human rights activists ,like the leftfascist Antifa and Muslims standing vis -a-vis and insulting us and screaming „Nazis“ and „childmurderer“

I remember a family dinner conversation when I was a kid in the 1970s. Israel had won several wars, ensured Munich, and executed the incredible Raid on Entebbe. The TV miniseries “The Holocaust” had aired and I learned powerful lessons about WW2. My dad made a comment that the Israelis are unbeatable. He specifically said “Israel has an incredible backbone.” Meaning, Israel will always fight. I was in grade school and his comments left me with a lasting impression. Israelis are indeed badass.

I applaud you, Israel and all hostages must be free before there can be talk about peace.

I went to Israel in 2017. A particular memory near the old city was seeing a group of IDF soldiers, headed by a female officer who was the only one carrying a weapon.

These were very good words that warmed my heart in the middle of these terrible times . I feel like a terrible tide of hatred against us has gone loose around the world though we have to defend our very existence on seven fronts in a war we did not want. I feel like if the stage is gradually set worldwide for a new holocaust. But we will defend ourselves and survive because most of us have a moral backbone . Therefore I am not terrified by this. But I am terrified to feel that most citizen of the West just don’t seem to understand that the attack on Israel by Iran, because it is Iran behind the Hezbollah and the Hamas, is just the tip of the iceberg. A vast destabilizing operation has been launched against the Western civilization since decades. Many terrorist attacks , most of them come from the Muslim Brothers and Iran. But less visible and even deadlier, the infiltration of all layers of society by Islamists: college campuses, locally elected people, left parties, academics, the media, the destructive consequences of wokism everywhere. And only few people seem to understand what is going on. All of you should read what Ayan Hirsi Ali writes in the Free Press. She make a very sober analysis of the soft power used in our societies and protected by our rights for free expression aiming at destroying them.

Keep your good work Kelli !

If it makes you feel any better I can tell you that here in Australia if you open social media you would think we were all against Israel, but when I talk to real people, like at work or family, a huge (mostly silent) majority understand exactly what is going on. I just think the morons have the loudest voices.

Thank you.

In my 20 years in Australia, I pretty quickly noticed some differences between Israelis, who grew up in an environment that took our secular majority Judaism as a fact, vs. diaspora Jews.

One of them is that Israelis in general are not used to hiding and cowering like diaspora Jews (in broad terms, there are all sorts).

Even some Israeli chat groups in Australia I see some people who are originally not from Israel (but lived there) being too careful from saying anything "political" lest we'll be doxed as happened to the Jewish lawyers group, vs. others like me who want to say "Fuck them! Bring it on!"

I keep being reminded of the last sentence in this conversation: https://youtu.be/ayWtlmkoJaM
